Creating the PCD file by getting data from the Arduino\n2. Visualize the PCD file\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nThis project uses Python 3.x, pip and Arduino IDE.\n\n* [Arduino IDE] (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Linux) - Instruction to install arduino ide in linux\nInstalling python and pip\n### Debain based systems\n```\napt install python3 python3-pip\n```\n### Arch based systems\n```\npacman -S python python-pip\n```\n### SUSE Linux based systems\n```\nzypper install python3 python3-pip\n```\n## Installing\nExternal packages used in the python program are: `Numpy`,`VTK`,`PySerial`\nThese can be installed manually or by using the included requirments.txt in the root of this project \n### Debain based systems\n```\npip3 install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n### Arch based systems\n```\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n### SUSE Linux based systems\n```\npip3 install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n## How to run this project?\n\n### Arduino code\nThe arduino code is located in the `./SweepBoth` folder. Flash `SweepBoth.ino` located in that file to the Arduino\n\n### Gnerating the PCD \n\nConnect your arduino and then run the following command\n```\npython findpoints.py\n```\n\n### Visualize the PCD file\n\nRun the following command after the pcd file has been generated\n```\npython pointscloud.py points.pcd\n```\n\n## Presentation and Report\nThe report and presentation are created using latex these are located in \n```./presentation``` and ```./report```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnandini-menon%2Fpoint-cloud-generation","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnandini-menon%2Fpoint-cloud-generation","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnandini-menon%2Fpoint-cloud-generation/lists"}
